She tasted like watermelon on a july day 
 pink and juicy 
Mostly liquid (transparent) but full of flavor 
 a rosebud mouth that inhaled like I did 
 bitter meals of smoke from tin foil and glass 
 She laughed like echoes off ancient cave walls 
 all experience and fire 
 dangerous arousal from a primitive state 
 I gave her my greatest possession 
sharing with eyes wide open 
 She fights without going to Geneva 
 ***** with bricks 
taking hits like a man 
deep breaths of poison and still she trudges on 
 She smelled like gardenias inside my palms 
 familiar and hand-picked 
infested with seeds 
 but all that I can recall is her on my lips; 
 pink and juicy 

tasting like watermelon on a july day.

For Lara
She tasted like watermelon on a july day 
 pink and juicy 
Mostly liquid (transparent) but full of flavor 
 a rosebud mouth that inhaled like I did 
 bitter meals of smoke from tin foil and glass 
 She laughed like echoes off ancient cave walls 
 all experience and fire 
 dangerous arousal from a primitive state 
 I gave her my greatest possession 
sharing with eyes wide open 
 She fights without going to Geneva 
 ***** with bricks 
taking hits like a man 
deep breaths of poison and still she trudges on 
 She smelled like gardenias inside my palms 
 familiar and hand-picked 
infested with seeds 
 but all that I can recall is her on my lips; 
 pink and juicy 

tasting like watermelon on a july day.
Inspired by the wonder that is my best friend and kindred spirit, Lara Lockwood.
